Thanks

Mary and Kay would like to thank Madcaps, Martinborough Transport, Colin Chamberlain, Martinborough Lions, ZMFM, Martinborough Star, The Fern and Thistle Pipe Band, Ohinemoki Transport and all those who helped or took part in the parade and Carols in the Park.

Your help and participation and the great response from the community are what makes the evening so successful.
This is my last parade so I wish you all much luck in the future.
Mary Smith.

I’m sure that everybody joins with us here at the Star in thanking Mary and Kay for all the great work they have put into organising the hugely successful Christmas parades over a considerable number of years. The time and effort you have put in has been greatly appreciated. All the best for the future Mary.
